Will Albania get the right formula?

Albania a very mysterious country which is starting to show itself now to the rest of the world entered the Eurovision song Contest in 2004 with a great song "The Image of You" and finished a very respectable 7th. Since then however, a very mixed bag of songs. A poor performance in the 2005 final sent them into the semi final for the 2006 show and then another poor song saw them staying there for 2007. Now for me personally the 2007 Albanian song was just absolute drivel and was my personal fave to come last in the semi.
Will Albania get the formaula right to win Eurovision or will they fade away in 2008 with another atrocious song. We will find out very soon as they normally choose there song in December so again will be the first country to name their tune for Belgrade.

All things considered I do wish Albania best wishes and very good luck for 2008.

Well another year's contest is over and I'm now back at home. So what are my thoughts on the contest? There are two things that stand out this year.... 1. Belgrade's/Serbia's apathy towards the contest, and 2. The results (as always!) So let's look at them in turn.... 1. After the recent elections, it appears that Serbians are keen to join the EU and after many years of troubles, which I will not go into, I would have thought that hosting the Eurovision would have been an excellent way to show what they are capable of. However, in the city itself, you would have been hard pressed to actually know that the contest was taking place! For most of the week, the only thing you could see with regards to the Eurovision was that a few shops were cashing in on the merchandise, a single information stall in one of the squares and I saw one advertisment for the Azerbaijan entry (there may have been more). So why did they not take up the opportunity? Was it that after the rec

Why?!

So Terry Wogan has finally retired having damaged the reputation of the Eurovision Song Contest in the UK for far too many years. So, considering that the UK seem to be trying to take the pre -selection a bit more seriously by having Lord Andrew Lloyd- Webber help, who do they decide to take over? GRAHAM NORTON!! WHY?! For one, Graham Norton has no experience at commentating. Two, I doubt Graham Norton has any experience of being serious! So we'll be subjected to more poor jokes, tasteless innuendos as the BBC moves the commentating more away from the music. How can Terry Wogan complain about the contest moving away from being a Music contest, when the BBC has failed to treat it as such for so long! So here's to many more years of Eurovision being a total joke in the UK!
